Hi Jaleef

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described for some users the PDF is not displaying properly and showing weird characters and for some its working fine.

 

It look like some users don't have the required font available on their system, or they don't have the rights to use that font. Please checkout the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html for more information about the font embedding.

You may also ask the users to go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > preferences > Page Display > Under rendering, Select 'Use local fonts' > Click OK and reboot the application.

 

Also, web browsers use their own PDF mechanism to render and display the PDF content and they are not Adobe dependant.
